Snowy Banner Elk and onward...

We're on the road again...putting the 'cold dip' behind us. My one pair of warm shoes are beyond use now, so I have to make-do with my socks and sandals until I can find a Wal-Mart to get something warmer!

...I start to realize the mistake I made in not doing more to my hair! It has become a complete, flyaway mess! In the end I could do nothing more than put it in a twist and clamp it down!

Like this!But notice-I'm still smling!

I couldn't spend much time on the ground in Banner Elk (without warm shoes) so the pics here were mostly taken from the car! A good bit of snow in Banner Elk, as some of the pictures show! You can see snow on the ski slopes in some of them!

After a while in Banner Elk we decided to drive on. It was either that or go back to Boone to the Wal-Mart, as there were no shoes to be had in Banner Elk! Charles will not backtrack -ever- so we went south again! This time we were heading for Hendersonville!

~~~But we had got a little taste of winter! In my case, a little more than I had expected!

Ah, yea, Banner Elk. One spring and summer in the late 70s, my guy maintained a stop on the Appalachian Trail near there.The Guest Book is a fun read. So many people remarked about how cold it got in the mountains.
